Sunday This was the day I had the squash soup/homemade crouton combo, in an effort to clean out my freezer. And when Zoe got home from work, she had a frozen pizza. Tuesday We had too many leftovers in the fridge (happens in a jiffy with just two people!), It’s usually sandwiches or tacos with me!) so we worked on those.

As you all know, I typically do my grocery shopping on Thursdays, therefore, that is also the day that I plan my weekly menu. For my menu planning, I start by scouring my freezer, fridge, and pantry to see what I have on-hand already. Last week, our menu plan seemed to go out the window. but I know we ate!

Monday I had a free frozen pizza from Safeway sitting in my chest freezer, so that’s what we ate! Friday We’ve got leftovers, so that’s probably what we will eat tonight. I love blueberry pancakes! Sunday I had eaten a late lunch so I don’t think I even actually ate an official dinner. Rolls > turkey.

There’s a reason why menu planning is #1 on this list. When I plan a menu, my spending is generally under control. When I don’t plan, I make multiple trips to the store, eat out too often, and most certainly blow our budget. Designate one night a week as “raid the fridge’ night to get rid of leftovers.
